"PDX impressed me with multimodal access via bike paths and MAX light rail, strong local food and shopping choices—like Stumptown Coffee Roasters, the House Spirits Tasting Room, and Tender Loving Empire—a free 17-seat movie theater that screens short films 24/7, great local shops (including Nike), and free Wi‑Fi that makes it very traveler-friendly." - CNT Editors, Hannah Towey

"Forest inspiration defines the new main terminal, where a wave-like roof made from nine acres of local Oregon timber—sourced within 300 miles, including community forests practicing sustainable forestry—sets a calming tone. Embracing biophilia, sunlit walkways thread past 72 indoor trees up to 25 feet tall and 5,000 other green plants; timber roof slats diffuse daylight like a forest canopy, leaving 60% of the building bathed in natural light. A strong sense of place runs through the concessions hall with local purveyors like Blue Star Donuts + Coffee, Mo’s Seafood & Chowder, and Powell’s Books, plus a microcinema screening shorts by local filmmakers. Designed by ZGF, the terminal is intended to double capacity to accommodate 35 million passengers a year by 2045." - Jessica Puckett

"An airport in Oregon offering therapy llamas, alpacas, and dogs to reduce stress among travelers."
